Rugby star Chris Robshaw is facing a real-life drama off the dance floor, as he considers quitting Strictly Come Dancing due to alarming threats from a stalker. He’s shared with friends that if the situation endangers his wife Camilla and their children, he won’t hesitate to leave the show.
This unexpected challenge came after Chris decided to join the Strictly cast, aiming for the famed glitterball trophy. Before making the leap into sparkle and sequins, the former England captain sought police advice for the safety of his family.
The ordeal began after a brief encounter with a woman at two events last year, leading to violent threats and false allegations against Chris and Camilla. This has left Camilla feeling anxious about even stepping outside with their sons, and the woman is reportedly on the National Police Wanted List.
Despite the stress, Chris wants his son to see him embrace something new and fun on TV, rather than giving in to fear. He’s determined to let nothing stand in the way of his family’s safety but hopes to rise above the challenge. As Chris put it, stepping onto the Strictly stage is about stepping out of his comfort zone – and maybe showing off some rugby moves in the Cha Cha Cha!
We’re cheering Chris on as he navigates this tough personal challenge while dazzling in sequins under the Strictly lights! 🌟🏉💃
